We are therapists committed to nurturing the next generation of mental health professionals.

With decades of combined experience, we believe that therapy is both an art and a responsibility—and that every emerging therapist deserves mentorship, inspiration, and real-world support. Our mission is to pass on not just knowledge, but wisdom. To foster clinical excellence, grounded ethics, cultural humility, and a deep respect for the human experience.

Together, we’re building a community where future therapists grow with guidance, courage, and heart.

Future Therapists introduces high school students to the world of therapy and mental health careers. Through meetings, students explore what it means to be a therapist, learn foundational counseling skills like active listening and empathy, and gain insight into different mental health professions such as counseling, social work, psychology, and psychiatry.

We emphasize self-awareness, ethical thinking, and emotional literacy, using interactive activities, roleplays, guest speakers, and reflective journaling. Students will learn how to support others, understand the basics of mental health, and map out educational pathways toward becoming a licensed therapist.

By the completion of Future Therapists, participants will have a clearer sense of whether a helping profession is right for them and how to take the next steps in their personal and academic journey.

TARGET AUDIENCE

High school students who are interested in a career in mental health professions such as counseling, social work, psychology, and psychiatry.
